FAQs
Are these shoes waterproof?
The HOCKEYSTAR is made from synthetic and textile materials, which provide some resistance to moisture but are not fully waterproof.
Can I use these for other sports?
While they provide good grip, they are specifically optimized for the mechanical demands of hockey. Using them for running or court sports may result in uneven wear.
How do I choose the right size?
The HOCKEYSTAR follows standard UK sizing for adults. We recommend choosing your usual athletic shoe size.
Are the insoles removable?
Yes, the insoles are generally removable, allowing for easy cleaning or the insertion of custom orthotics if required.
What is the best way to clean the white elements?
Use a soft brush with mild soapy water to gently scrub the white parts of the upper. Avoid harsh chemicals that may discolor the fabric.
Do these shoes offer arch support?
The shoes feature a standard athletic profile with an EVA midsole that provides moderate arch support suitable for most neutral foot types.
Troubleshooting
Feeling discomfort in the heel area.
Ensure the laces are adjusted correctly for a snug fit. Using a thicker sports sock can also provide extra cushioning and prevent rubbing.
Shoes feeling slippery on the pitch.
Check the outsole for mud or debris trapped between the lugs. Clean the soles thoroughly with a brush to restore grip.
Persistent odor.
Remove the insoles to air dry and use a sports-specific shoe deodorizer. Always ensure the shoes are fully dry before storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your HOCKEYSTAR shoes last as long as possible, follow these guidelines:
- Break-in: Wear the shoes for shorter periods around the house before taking them onto the pitch to soften the materials.
- Cleaning: After use, tap the soles together to remove loose debris or sand from the turf. Wipe the synthetic upper with a damp cloth.
- Drying: Air dry the shoes naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources, such as radiators, which can warp the materials.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Do not leave damp shoes inside a gym bag, as this can lead to odor and material degradation.
- Compatibility: These are intended for use on artificial hockey pitches; using them on concrete or abrasive asphalt will accelerate the wear of the rubber lugs.
